I am having a problem with the redhat installation/upgrade program. I have downloaded the iso image for redhat 6.2 for an i386, and copied the files from the image to /home/redhat. Next, I downloaded the rh 6.2 boot disks from the speakup site and created a boot disk so that I can do an upgrade from the hard disk. I created the boot disk by issuing the following command. dd if=dtlkb.bin of=/dev/fd0 I reboot from the floppy I created, and the system starts talking fine, so I know that is not the issue. After I select the language and keyboard type, the system wants me to select where the installation files are. I select "hard drive", then tell it where the files are by selecting /dev/hda7 (my /home partition), then I also fill in the "directory holding redhat" field with "/redhat". The system starts to load the 2nd stage ram disk, then gives the following messages: error 2 reading header: Success cpio failed on (null): (internal) install exited abnormally -- received signal 11 Then all processes are stopped, filesystems are unmounted and I am told to reboot my system. What is going on? Can anyone help with this? Thanks, William -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
